which have taken the brunt of plastic pollution over the decades. This article will look at how the climate change and plastics are linked, how plastic production is changing to increase sustainability, how plastics are affecting marine life, some new facts and figures about plastic pollution probl...
nets, and plastic bags for example - and that over 90% of seabirds have pieces of plastic in their stomachs. Seabirds who feed on the surface of the ocean are especially likely to ingest plastics that float, and then feed this to their chicks. ...
Plastic waste in the world's oceans is affecting marine (海洋的) life in new and unusual ways. A group of US and Canadian scientists found some species are living on a huge are a of plastic garbage floating(漂浮) in the Pacific Ocean.Linsey Haram of the Smithsonian Environmental Research ...
A recent study has shown that there are over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean, and this number is only increasing. This plastic waste is not only harming marine life, but it is also affecting human health. Fish that consume plastic are often caught and sold for human consumption,...
How does salinity affect ocean acidification? How does plastic affect coral reefs? How does ocean acidification directly affect calcifiers? How is global warming affecting the Antarctic Peninsula? Explain the impact of global warming on sea levels and its consequences for human life. How are pteropod...
detection, properties, toxicity, fate and transportation, emerging treatment techniques, advantages and future developments of removal technologies, and impact factors affecting removal efficiency is still lacking. In this context, herein, we present an up-to-date and critical review of recent progress ...
"Many tragedies from plastic in the ocean go unobserved, and the ones we see are just a snapshot. The plastics crisis is deep, wide, and pervasive, affecting ecosystems and animals in ways we are only beginning to understand," Leavitt said. ...
While I would argue that any plastic in the ocean is too much plastic, we ultimately want to know how this contaminant is affecting the ocean and marine life in particular – not only sea turtles, whales and seabirds, but also animals at the base of the food web all the way up to ...
It is now emerging as an alarming problem and piled up into patches in the ocean affecting coastal communities, biodiversity, climate and human health. The sewage passages, dumping of household, industrial plastic litter, ship docks and fishing gear activities in the oceans are the major source ...
This means they could spread microplastic pollution throughout the marine ecosystem, by carrying microplastics from the surface down to deeper waters, affecting deep-sea organisms. To investigate this further, researchers set out to catch fish in a remote area of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The ...
